B3 Aviator Multi-function - Sand Color Barrel ROCKS!!

Pros: 3-in-1 feature
Cons: experienced a learning curve replacing ink and lead the first time
Review:
I've been using the Skilcraft B3 Aviator Multi-function pen for over 12 years. It is an excellent writing instrument and versatile with the three-in-one feature! The metal barrel is what sold me on the pen. I like the feel of it and it's tough! This is my second purchase of the Sand Color Barrel. Didn't know it came in a color other than black. This is now my go to color for the B3 Aviator.

Three Writing Instruments in One Compact Package for a Reasonable Price!
By JOHN

Pros: Compact, multiple writing instruments in one at affordable prices
Cons: I got one B3 with mechanical problems (out of well over a dozen)
Review:
These are my "go to" writing instruments since serving in the military. The B3 is the size of a normal, high quality ink pen, not like the cheap bulky 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 ink pens or a thick, ostentatious Mont Blanc. So, it fits in a ACU sleeve pen pocket (or US military flight suit). They tend to come flat black or coyote brown, which doesn't flash in a tactical environment like the standard Skilcraft "U.S. Government Property" click pens, which I appreciated as a ground pounder.
Even after my service, I still love these B3s. I use the Pencil feature for keeping my old school daily journal and use the eraser if I have to make updates. I use the red ink pen feature for editing documents, and the black ink pen feature for signing or writing other notes. I buy them from MyPilotStore because Amazon stopped carrying them (at least not without a Government account).
